Mount Med Resort
A Review by Jenny Packham
/ ‘Mount Med is Fabulous!’
A short flight to the beautiful Innsbruck – a picture-perfect town nestled into a majestic range of snow-topped mountains – is followed by a short drive to the hotel. As I step out of the taxi, I sense the fresh air and smile, and as I look around, I notice that my vision is clear – the detoxing has begun.
The rooms are stylish, cool, and calming, and the softness of the bed devours me. I’m fussy about the aesthetics of a place, but this retreat is so brand new and well designed, with such exceptional attention to detail – I am blown away!
/ The Kilos Gently Fall Away
After an initial analysis of my body, I am given my programme for the week. My aim is to lose weight and relax. However, the food is so delicious and plentiful, I doubt that I will fulfil my ambitions, but the kilos do gently fall away as I undertake the numerous heavenly massages and treatments designed to unwind my mind and free the tensions of my hectic life.
The gym and spa are the best. The spa has multiple saunas and steam rooms, and an unforgettable mountain-view pool set in a lush and luxurious environment, dotted with sunbeds and daybeds and on-tap herbal tea. Perfection.
My only complaint is there is too much to do, too many places to unwind, too many artfully prepared meals to consume, and calming yoga sessions to join.
/ A Place to Return to
After years of travelling, I have discovered that whatever the hype and deliciousness of a destination, there is one thing that can truly transform your experience – the people. The staff at Mount Med are the reason I loved it there so much. They are authentic and professional without pretension, and perfectly reflect the desired culture of the retreat and, without doubt – the reason I would return.
